Using logic, where "IS" means "EQUAL TO," MARS is not

Yoiks! Brian. We're not going to be defining "is" now are we? 8^)

It turns out it is necessary to define "is" as it does NOT always mean
"equal to". As noted in the post I just sent, one can say "Marigolds are
flowers", which is a true statement but you cannot turn it around and say
"Flowers are marigolds" as this latter isn't always true.

MARS is NOT amateur radio.

If MARS were amateur radio, it would have rules defining and
regulating it in Title 47 C.F.R. It does not.

If MARS were amateur radio, the Department of Defense would
not have released Directive 4650.2. They did, so that defines
MARS as a military radio service.
